What are crowns and bridges?
Dental crowns and bridges are similar dental restorations that aid in repairing or replacing a missing or damaged tooth which can be due to any reason. 

A dental crown is like a cap for the missing or damaged tooth placed on its visible portion. They can also cover a dental implant and improve the appearance of misshapen or discolored teeth.

A dental bridge is similar to a dental crown, but the only difference is that it is used to replace one or more than one damaged or missing teeth. This creates a bridge of artificial teeth called pontics fitted on the surrounding area with dental crowns. 

Features

• Made of various materials, mostly porcelain and metal
• Requires two or more sittings
• Each dental crown and bridge is custom-made
• Helps to improve teeth appearance and resolve everyday function
   

Who Needs Dental Crown And Bridges?
Dental crowns and bridges can be used for a host of different reasons that, include:

Tooth decay: A crown is required for a tooth that is badly damaged to prevent and protect it from further damage.

Root canal treatment: Crowns are used in the root canal treatment to be placed over the tooth to protect it. 

Cracked or broken teeth: To provide cracked, broken, and severely worn teeth, a crown is fitted for strength and support.

Missing teeth: When more than one tooth is missing, a bridge replaces them. This allows for the renewed ability to chew, speak properly, and have a better bite. This also prevents the remaining teeth from shifting. 

Cosmetic Viability: Missing teeth can hamper a person's confidence; that is why crowns are used to restore a beautiful smile. 
 

What is the procedure for crowns and bridges?
The procedure for crowns or bridges takes more than one appointment. Here are the steps involved in performing this dental procedure:

Step 1: The dentist will thoroughly examine the teeth and problem area to determine the course of action and decide if a crown or bridge is more suitable.

Step 2: After the decision, the tooth will be prepared, which involves removing any damaged or decayed area and shaping it for further restoration for an ideal fit. The adjacent tooth will also be prepared for a bridge as they serve as anchors.

Step 3: Once done, your teeth impression will be taken with a putty-like material or a digital scanner. Then this impression will be sent to a dental laboratory for the custom crown or bridge. 

Step 4: Since it takes some time for the permanent crown or bridge to be made, a temporary restoration will be placed over it to protect it and stop them from shifting. 

Step 5: In the next sitting, when the custom-made crown or bridge is ready, the final restoration will take place. The permanent ones will replace the temporary restoration. Then the permanent crown or bridge will be checked for fit, comfort, and appearance before any necessary adjustment. It will then be bonded onto the tooth or teeth using dental cement. 

Step 6: Any follow-up appointment will be scheduled to check the progress to ensure proper function.
